Quantitative and qualitative research are the main two types of research that can be completed (Keele, 2011, p. 35). Quantitative research has long been relied on as the “formal, objective, deductive approach to problem solving” (Keele, 2011, p. 35). Quantitative research focuses on an assumption of theory and then proving that theory using research, following a positivist paradigm (Keele, 2011, p. 35). My topic for my capstone proposal is about how a fast track unit operated by a nurse practitioner or physician assistant can be used to reduce patient wait times and length of stay in an emergency department. The following three articles have really helped me in being able to see the importance of my study and have given me information about related studies that have been completed.
Mentoring is an initiative that has been found effective and transferable from business to education (Wallace, Montgomery and Pomerantz, 2010), indeed Linney (1999) suggested that mentoring is a very popular tool in various contexts and fields. In the field of education, Daloz (1987) felt that teachers and mentors played a vital role in allowing students to gain confidence, insight and passion to progress in their academic lives.

Brown University is one many universities that currently have a two semester capstone course (Brown University, 2015). A two semester capstone class provides students with a gateway into a potential career and presents them with the chance to apply the skills learned in the classroom to real-life scenarios (Atchison, 1993). The students at Brown University, are required to complete a project or internship during their first semester of the capstone project, which emphasis interdisciplinary practice which is becoming an essential skill in the workplace (Brown University, 2015). During the second semester of the capstone class, students are required to write a paper that incorporates the experience gained from the project as well as the knowledge acquired from past classes in the program (Brown University, 2015). Taking these examples, into consideration this paper will proceed by proposing a possible two semester capstone course for the University of Maryland, School of Public
Upon completing a stage in life, such as the completion of a graduate program, it is productive to reflect upon that experience and ponder the motivation for that course of action, as well as ponder the utility of that experience. As my graduate program comes to a conclusion, now is the time for me to discuss the components of the program that have been of particular value to me, and why such program components have been of value.
During the past eight weeks, this class has given me a life-changing experience. This class has allowed me to take everything I have learned in the last 13 classes and tie it all together into one piece, called the capstone. The capstone was a challenge that I had to overcome as a student and as an individual. There were days when I was stressed out and others where I felt confident. The constant roller coaster of emotions made this final project unforgettable. In fact, there were countless hours of research and revising paragraph after paragraph, until it was as close to perfect as I could get it. This capstone project has helped me work on my weaknesses and turn them into strengths.
The Capstone class made me realize that all of my hard work in the RN-BSN program was evident in my ability to prepare an educational project that showed all of knowledge that I had acquired. Specifically, the Capstone project in Module 5, put all of the knowledge that I have acquired with RN-BSN coursework into successfully researching and creating an educational presentation (Boyd, 2017). This class has allowed me to see significant changes in my thought process and gave me the confidence to continue my desire for learning, researching, understanding, and educating
